T. S. Eliot
For he will do As he do do And there's no doing anything about it!
T. S. Eliot

T. S. Eliot
We shall not cease from exploring, And the end of our exploring Will be to arrive where we started And know the place for the first time.
T. S. Eliot
And indeed there will be time to wonder, 'Do I dare?', and 'Do I dare?
T. S. Eliot
A people without history Is not redeemed from time, for history is a pattern Of timeless moments.
T. S. Eliot
The majority of poems one outgrows and outlives, as one outgrows and outlives the majority of human passions.
T. S. Eliot
Let's not be narrow, nasty, and negative.
T. S. Eliot
Never commit yourself to a cheese without having first examined it.
T. S. Eliot
Talent imitates, genius steals.
T. S. Eliot
We do not quite say that the new is more valuable because it fits in but its fitting in is a test of its value - a test, it is true, which can only be slowly and cautiously applied, for we are none of us infallible judges of conformity.
T. S. Eliot
This is the feeling for syllable and rhythm, penetrating far below the conscious levels of thought and feeling, invigorating every word.
T. S. Eliot
Whatever you do, don't whimper, but take the consequences.
T. S. Eliot
